Hobbies? Things to occupy your time??

Sooo, what does everyone do when they aren't exercising? Any hobbies, particular things you like to do to keep yourself busy? I'm a painter, a crafter. Anyone else into arts and crafts? Have any fun ideas I can do with my 17 month old little boy? Let's see some pics!! Here's a few of my work

I paint, draw, scrapbook and write. As for fun ideas for toddlers, do you Pinterest? There are neat ideas there. April Fool Girl

Sewing and tailoring. I consider them "interests," not "hobbies."

I've heard of this Pinterest on Facebook, but Idk really what it is or what you do with it?

Love your art. I smock and construct infant and custom children's clothing. I haven't sewn much lately. I am too consumed with my health. I will get back into it, once I hear of grand babies.

I sew, I play guitar, I write, I occasionally paint and get crafty. Sewing is my main thing, though. I spend a lot of time in costume shops making costumes for plays, so I don't often get to make things for myself, but when I do, it's always lovely.

Thanks. How do you "smock and construct" clothing? That's not a term I'm familiar with And I reaalllly want to leanr to play to the guitar! I love acoustic music

Scrapbooking. It's (IMO) the best thing to do with kids. I took a lot of pictures of them as babies and toddlers and later as they are growing and had them help write down the stories behind the pictures as we went. I have samples (in safe, acid-free pen!) of their handwriting as they are growing, have stamped their handprints with ink on art pages and gotten a "her and mine" perspective on an event that we can look back on later.

My daughter and I did these pictures using decoupage for my mom's birthday. They are on canvas. They turned out pretty good, we think.

Agreed that scrapbooking or stamping/card making is awesome to do with kids.

Smocking is handwork (geometric designs or picture designs) on fabric pleated by a pleater. You have probably seen childrens and infants clothing that has been smocked. You can google it. I also enjoy heirloom embroidery.

I tend to cycle through hobbies. One thing holds my interest for a while, then I move to something else again, etc. Books and movies never get old, but other than that, I enjoy:

Chess
Poker
Playing guitar
Video games

j_wilson2012

Yeah, Chess and cards. I do the crossword in the paper (the small one), also like some Battlefield, Madden, Soul Caliber, NASCAR. Shining a Laser pointer for my cat sonic to chase and try to catch.
